What status effect/ mechanic you would add to the game?

From time to time I post some mechanic and status effects ideas in hope that somehow it will impact Behaviour new perks in the future and also because I would love more interesting perks in the pool besides repetition of we already have in diffrent forms that is quite common. So thats why I wanted to ask. Do you have something that you would love added in the game in form of status effects or mechanic? Something that could challenge the current game rules or maybe fix or adjust current meta? I would like to hear that, and even tho im heading to sleep now, tomorrow I will be eager to hear what you guys have on mind.

    I think we need more things to trick the Killer. I'd prefer setting traps, but the ability to block Killer aura reading or M2 for a period would be something interesting.

    Joint Pain - after crouching and uncrouching in a quick succession, your knee joints get injured, making you unable to crouch or sprint, as well as jump into the hatch and run into the fog at the exit gates, for a specified amount of time, until the joints recover and you think well about your behavior.

    Unique weather effects for certain maps. I know this is a fever dream because of the code and the game might just explode if something like this would ever be added. But if it were it would add more immersion and maybe even more challenge to the game if Ormond suffered from a massive blizzard or coldwind suffered from a brushfire causing black smoke to fill the map or something cool like that.

    Like distortion? Yea i dont think hidden aura its in more than 2 perks so sure its under utilized. I dont want it to become easy to hide aura tho, I think it would be too frustrating for the killer if they coudlnt reveal you for most of the game. So perhaps this could also be put under trapping mechanic that would prevent the killer from reading aura for some time. Overall I enjoy those slowing bombs perk, I think its one of the best perks they added.

    Yea some kind of natural disaster would probably make a mush out of the code and the game frame rates but even tho its incredible cool. Some kind of blizzard, flood, fire or how crazy it sounds even tornado would be insane thing to witness in dbd that would spice the game. Of course they would need to be low in quality in terms of visual so it would the game wont be laggy for players but limiting the place of disaster perhaps it could help.

    Athleticism ratings for each survivor. A survivor like Bill should randomly stumble and fall when they run. No, I'm not serious.

    I would Love them to add a setting to make the Blinded bright screen to make it darkened.

    Being Blinded is not a problem its being Blinded repeatedly and I mean like BLIND BLIND BLIND type problem. This can be a problem people with Epilepsy

    Yes just Run Lightborn but I shouldn't need to bring a perk to remove this problem.

    • "Visual Fatigue": A minimum amount of cooldown between aura-reading perks (for both Killers and Survivors).
    • "Enforced Truce": After using certain perks (e.g., DS), Killers cannot use their M2 for a few seconds.

    I meann its more of quality of life for epileptic people but I think its hard for them to play the game cosindering killers like doctor exist.

    I think some sort of short silence for both perks and powers would be good idea overall in dbd. As long as it would remain short. The nurse or blight wouldnt insta downn survivor thsi way after ds.

    Not like Distortion, no. That's just blocking your aura. I mean something more like Mindbreaker but inflicted upon the Killer. It might make camping/tunneling/slugging more prominent, but let's be honest—it's happening anyway. It just might be a fun thing to use. I'd say it needs special balancing, but I don't know if it does.
